Experience in racing

DID contributes to the development and promotion of two-wheeler motorsport through important sponsorships and collaborations with leading racing teams around the world, such as the Ducati MotoGP Team, the Yamaha MotoGP Team, the Honda World Motocross Team and several top teams in the U.S.A. AMA Supercross League.

Advanced technologies

DID uses leading technologies for its products to ensure the quality, durability and performance of the chains.

The DIRECT concept was born from years of experience in MotoGP development. Rigidity is at the heart of this concept. A stiff chain shows resistance to deformation and stretching, resulting in improved performance and durability.

One of the most notable innovations is the patented X-Ring. Compared to traditional O-ring designs, the X-ring offers superior benefits:

• The unique construction allows the ring to twist between the side straps instead of being squeezed, which significantly reduces friction.
• The X-ring keeps the lubrication in the bushing, increasing the life of the bolt and chain by 1.5 to 2 times. This is a significant improvement, as chain cover is primarily caused by bolt wear.

In addition to these technologies, the manufacturer uses SDH bolt treatment. This technology creates an extremely hard chromium carbide layer on the surface of the bolt, while the inner core remains soft to absorb impact loads. This combination of hardness and flexibility allows the chains to survive under the most demanding conditions. By combining these advanced technologies, DID offers unparalleled quality in terms of performance, durability and efficiency.

Conclusion

DID not only offers a wide range of products for all those who love two-wheelers, but also experience that hardly any other company in the chain sector can match. Regardless of whether you drive long distances on your tourer, whip through the woods with your cross or set top times on racetracks with your super sports car, DID always has the right chain for your ridingstyle and needs.
